SANTA CLARA, CALIF. – Jan 29, 2013 - The 3M Electronic Solutions Division will exhibit some of its industry-leading products for high-performance computing and networking applications at booth #414 at the DesignCon 2013 Expo. The event takes place Jan. 29-30 at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

3M Twin Axial Cable and Cable Assemblies3M will showcase a mechanical backplane demonstration chassis featuring its Twin Axial Cable SL8800 Series and the new ExaMax IO Connector from FCI.

The Twin Axial Cable from 3M is ideal for space-constrained, high-performance systems and networks. The thin, ribbon-style cable can be bent and folded with minimal loss or performance impact, opening up new routing possibilities. Inside the box, the low-profile cable can be routed to allow more room for components and to help improve air flow, potentially reducing costs. In data center settings, the highly routable cable can conserve precious space in the rack. The cable can be converted to individual pairs for applications that do not require the ribbon format.
